ProMedica is opening two new health clinics for employees of Wood County Schools at 1180 N. Main St.,
Suite 5, Bowling Green, and 2751 Bay Park Drive, Suite 209, Oregon.
The ProMedica Physicians Wood County School Consortium Health Clinics are open six days a week, Monday
through Saturday, with extended hours three days a week. About 4,000 plan members, which includes
employees and their families, will be able to access the services at the health clinics.
“As healthcare adapts and changes, we need to think differently about how to manage the health and
well-being of specific populations,” said Kent Bishop, MD, chief medical officer ProMedica physicians
and acute care.
The clinics provide a wide array of additional services beyond a traditional primary care office. They
include services such as wellness programs, routine testing and labs, nutrition counseling and medically
integrated fitness programs.
“We first heard of such a program at a conference about four years ago. We’ve been working on bringing it
to Wood County. It’s a great asset to employees, especially in rural regions. As superintendents, we
desire to provide great services and have a healthy workforce,” said Adam Koch, superintendent, Otsego
Local Schools.
The health clinics also have some potential cost-saving benefits compared to urgent care and emergency
room visits.
“We are always mindful of cost-savings initiatives. This is a win-win situation,” said Brent Welker,
superintendent, Eastwood Local Schools
Both superintendents have received positive feedback about the clinics from employees and their families.

“My daughter used one of the clinics before she went back to college after winter break. The scheduling
was easy and convenient and she was pleased with the experience,” Welker said.
